Welcome to /mk8g/ - Back to the old codes (for now) editon Last thread: Discuss Mario Kart & Mario Spin-off Games! Wii U players welcome as well (please get a Switch ASAP though)
>Game Codes Main Lobbies: --Mario Kart 8 (Switch) 200cc 4023-7564-6763 --Mario Kart 8 (Switch) Battle 4899-8626-8715

>How do I play with you guys!?! --First time racers: Go to "online - one player", go to "tournaments", go to "search by code", enter our main (or auxillary) lobby code and hit "join". If you keep getting put in empty lobbies, the current one is full. --Returning racers: Go to "friends" from the online menu & view "recent players" list to find and join someone who is currently racing. >!Further FAQs (Tips, Esoterics, General stuff/junk): pastebin.com/aJne6hi4
>Thread PSA: Do not reply or respond to shitposters. Regularly announce the number of players in a lobby. Keep up the banter during races. Namedropping is discouraged but posting along the lines of "Haha John Smith that green was beautiful" is not only fine; you should do it more! Keep on posting screenshots in the thread!
>Today's protip While the purple boost is cool you should actually seldom be using it. 2 orange boosts, or even orange then blue>purple boost.
I wonder how long this one will last. Will you attempt this general again next week if it fails like last time, OP?
Henry Garcia
Are people actually playing now?
Jonathan Edwards
I'm gonna join 200cc in a moment.
Nicholas Lee
Let's not make the same mistake again, keep it contained in discord until next weekend discord.gg/fnnKTT
James Adams
Newfag to MK8 here. Switch 150cc is an Auxiliary lobby? Why? Didn't more people play on 150cc this weekend?
Gabriel Wood
Stop spamming this shit.
Lucas Jones
>150cc auxillary 200cc fag here, I honestly want to see 200cc all day ery day but if my worst fears come true and we see a 12/12 150cc lobby before we see a 200 one I'll have to change that won't I?
Leo Myers
I lied. I joined 150cc.
Luis Nelson
Can someone with Nikki in their friends list send her a message asking her to extend the lobby times to weekly? Hopefully she won't be spiteful on the account of her being a discordfag (as I understand).
Kevin Ward
this is gonna crash and burn and you know it you learned nothing from the chaos that was /mk8g/
Austin Jackson
I will, an uptick in gen goers will only occur through sheer persistence.
Tyler Murphy
I'll be here, so don't worry.
Justin Harris
>chaos You are overestimating the clout Boney and Spooky ect hold. Circlejerking is an issue but it can be a stealth boon because there is never a time when that is not met with loud criticism. A thread being a shitfest because peolle are going at it in a thread and this supposedly "scares off players" is a myth. This is just a natural progression of events. This is almost like saying Veeky Forums itself is a bad idea. Fearing controversy is pointless, do not let yourself be shouted away into irrelevance. Keeping a thread healthy is a Sisyphean task and only those who don't belong on Veeky Forums in the first place are affraid of that.
Heck even aftter all I've said this might fizzle out at times but thats fine and more importantly should not be factored into our decisions. Unless of course you have some other game or hobby you think your time is better spent on then by all means; go, do.
Or just come, and Kart. Helping keeping the thread alive is appreciated as well.
Christian Myers
Thanks bud
Joseph Garcia
it was more an issue of circlejerking getting to extreme levels, rumours and unironic hate/harassment going around combined with lessening activity that caused it to collapse
because the same people were posting in threads a lot it became easy to recognize who was posting what based on their writing style, images, etc. and some even started calling out people who were new like they were trespassing on sacred ground or some shit
also the alice situation
Chase Baker
-----Official Kart /v/eekend and /mk8g/ PSA------- >1. If you join an empty lobby, First discover if there is a larger full lobby. If there is start a new one and STAY in it. Second, post the fact that you are waiting by posting "1/12 XXXcc" -twice- with a minute or two between each posting. >2. Post lobby status evsry other game. Don't assume that someone else will just up and take care of it; do it yourself. Attach the lobby stat to one of your banter posts even. Do it often! >3. A post of "12/12" is not a wasted post! Do it too, this has an eagerness inducing psychological effect on the thread and posts like these and their ilk contribute nicely to the atmosphere of the thread. They are also useful to the aforementioned anons starting a second lobby. >4. Banter and creatively comment on even the most innocuous of happenings in-game
Jeremiah Lewis
He's the most dense idiot on the history of mk /v/eekend. All you can do is not contribute to this shitfest
Aiden Collins
>Rumours and unironic hate/harassment going around Full stop. Don't care. Them caring was dramatic weakness, full stop again.
Christian Walker
I didn't matter if they cared or not. It was posted in almost every thread without stop and it was just a bunch of shitters replying to each other.
Xavier Turner
Posting my girl.
Tyler Hall
Only relevant factor in this equation was the lobby status; if paltry then yes the gen deserved to fizzle out. As it did upon agreed, /v/eekend only, consenus.
Dylan Evans
Uh, that's MY girl you got there, buddy!
Brandon Jackson
Can we take a moment and appreciate this good old discordfag anus-anhilation?
Oliver Clark
Whoops
Juan Sanders
Kill yourself. Stop drawing attention to it. Especially cross-board.
Ryan Carter
>As it did upon agreed, /v/eekend only, consenus Yet, here we fucking are.
Dominic Price
Meh fine.
Ian Cook
Anyone playing? If so remember to post the status feggits
Owen Reyes
150cc is active, but those fags wont post updares outside the discord
Landon Torres
150cc 8/12 Switch
Andrew Diaz
I'm posting in the /v/ thread and here. Fuck you, and fuck discord.
Cameron Barnes
I'm not in the discord. I'll update every some minutes for you guys while I'm still here.
New Console. New batch of players that never got it on the Wii U. A small contingent of the rare, actually based, oldfags. Opportunity opportunity opportunity.

William Lewis
Too bad we keep the same old shitters. The general has a stigma you will never shake off.
Landon Thomas
It's empty
Josiah Garcia
Try friends then recent opponents. The lobby making sucks hard in this one
Charles Stewart
Said by every person who remembers the bad times in thing x ever. Quit being a negative nancy and Kart.
Ian Garcia
Try to join from recent people if you can. Sucks, I know.
150cc 5/12
Ryan Lewis
I never joined on this lobby before, so I can't join to a recent opponent.
Cooper Myers
Then is the the singular only circumstance where posting your NNID (in spoilers) is acceptable. Do it.
Luis Barnes
>picking Yoshi Circuit, the worst course in the game
Jaxson Thompson
Try to restart your Switch. That sometimes helps. As soon as you join a lobby with people in it, add them as your friend so you can join easier. That's what I did.
Christopher Carter
What about my friend code? because this is how the Switch's friend list works.
Brandon Ward
150cc 4/12
Isaac Brown
SendLewds, pls no bully
Connor Fisher
Well you just have bad fucking taste. I bet you've never taken the waterfall shroomless or leaped over the Piranha plant.
Jace Sanchez
>Quit being a negative nancy and Kart. You really think that this is about being negative?
The reason people gave you shit in the weekend threads is because all the general did was burn out people. People, who pretty much ended up caring the lobbies in weekends. Sadly, people don't want to actually get a lobby started. They would much rather join a 7/12 than to slowly get a 2/12 to that.
So aside from the shitposting, when you they don't feel like playing, the /v/eekends just drop dead because no one can get a lobby up from the ground.
>But we can get newer people By having the general up, and potentially having them race, the same shit will happen, they will get burned out eventually and history repeats.

Dominic Flores
Friend you are obviously the sort of person that witnesses a negative phenomenon occuring and then mulls it over and constantly assumes in is an always around the corner. Yes I know these things are capable of occuring but the factoring of them into your decisions is a self fufling prophecy and you would do well to stop.
>they will get burned out eventually and history repeats Yes coinciding with the inevitable downtick of enthusiasm for the game, as is unstoppable. Cross that bridge when we get to it. All other manners of addressing the situation are objectively the wrong ones.
Otherwise I reject this nothion of "burning out" on it's face I think you are misiterprei g what is actually going on here. If these threads do indeed fail to take flight then I will have been proven wrong, and we return to the /v/eekend only format until MK9 and I skulk away dejected. In any event we wait and observe.
Connor Cooper
Sup
Owen Torres
150cc 0/12 And I'm out of here. It's been a very good weekend, maybe the best one yet for MK8D, I think. Thanks for playing, everyone.
Samuel Allen
You're Panshito but with other avatar.
Zachary Perry
3/12 200cc
Jacob Cook
Try 200cc, it gets better. Being shit a first is a boon and guarantee you it's just delayed fun through sheer juxtaposition.
Colton Price
I would, but I'm just too tired. I might tomorrow if there are people still playing.
Aaron Martinez
Holy fuck me, spell check your posts before posting.
Daniel Nelson
Fuck off Spooky, you piece of shit discordfag
Daniel Bennett
If not for Discord and 150cc being worryingly popular I might not have made /mk8g/ again. Congrats asshats, I fucking hate you. 150cc fags you are alright, please convert to /fast/ soon though.
Liam Lee
Why do most of these attention whore cancer-mongers always end their name in the "y" sound? (Maebbie spelled "ie") list of Absolute shitters past and present:
You better keep this bumped in the dead of night if you hope to keep this thread alive this time.
Cameron Morris
We need those ever vauable euro bros to start coming again.
Hudson Rivera
I can bump, but I'll be stuck at work and won't be able to play until I get back.
Jacob Ortiz
It's in your hands now.
Colton Rivera
Thanks bro, hero these threads need.
Luis Brooks
...
Andrew Thompson
You better not be lying about 200cc getting better and all this fhckkng lain worth it. How do I stop hitting walls AND go fast? Fuck me this mode tearsopen my asshole.
Jordan Baker
You'll learn to love it, fear not just wait until you git gud at it then someone getting a mirror lobby going. It'll feel exactly the same. A that's a good thing
Henry Thompson
Who else needs to be added to this list? Alice and Ryan?
William Ortiz
I guess. Tonight I sleep.
Nathaniel Perez
Alice maybe. But Ryan was never on the same levels asthose others.
Jack Robinson
Where's everybody at?
Daniel Watson
Everybody disappeared all at once.

Good game
Jackson Robinson
At least it's less bad with the desync issues firehopping used to cause gone.
Isaac Harris
Bump
John Perez
Why don't you make some discussion instead of just saying bump senpai
Jose Hall
Do you even know what a circlejerk is?
Cameron Hill
What are you on about? Why wouldn't we?
Henry Martinez
Post webms
Owen Williams
I would if the Switch was capable of recording video without a capture card. Maybe one day.
John Gonzalez
Does anyone here actually use tilt controls, auto-accelerate, or smart steering?
Jayden Green
I've tried tilt controls, and they're really not that bad. I just far prefer using a D-pad on the Pro controller.
Auto Accelerate and Smart Steering are just easy mode though. Kinda annoys me that they were on by default.
Chase Clark
Smart steering is just bad and there's no reason to have it on by default. And it records it on your license which is annoying.
Samuel Hughes
>All the female voices are annoying as fuck. Fuck Daisy is so annoying it makes her somehow fun to play as.
Samuel Hall
Anyone down for some morning kart on switch?
Asher Walker
this place is dead. whose idea was it to make a /mk8/ general?
Cameron Flores
dumb Kirby poster, some of us actually have to work for a living. Its fucking horrible
